Hold the Silver One

[Intro] [Hook]

Loud enough to hold the silver one,

Keep her here until the night is done.

(loud enough)

[Verse]

Down from the crystal hills with our amps and our drums,

The priestesses tell us to be quiet when it comes.

Now Sul'na touches Vael and the plain goes gold and white,

Domm counts us in with sticks held up, we turn it up all night.

[Hook]

Loud enough to hold the silver one,

Keep her here until the night is done.

(loud enough)

[Solo]

[Verse]

The families on the plain all bring their single beat,

We play them back as one big rhythm, shaking at their feet.

Tassik's shells are howling and my throat is raw and red,

The silver moon is lingering, or so the old ones said.

[Breakdown]

[Hook]

Loud enough to hold the silver one,

Keep her here until the night is done.

(loud enough)

[Verse]

Morning comes on Vol'Nova and Sul'na slips away,

Nobody knows if we held her, or if she'd planned to stay.

The priestesses are counting with their charts spread on the sand,

They won't tell us the answer, but one of them shakes my hand.

[Solo]

[Hook]

Was it loud enough this year?

Four hundred days and we'll be here.

(loud enough)

[Outro]

Loud enough, we're not done,

Turn it up for everyone.

[Spoken]
